    Hi, Recently I started a project that needs to integrate a forum.
    Like many other posts here I also have my own user management system but I haven't seen anyone discuss using Curl to login.

    Is this not possible, or simply not the best approach?

    The file download utility?

    Not the best approach. If you have a homebrew system, I would recomend dropping it for People unless it has a feature you or your users require.

    Well, it does, there's a hole CMS around it so that option isn't viable.

    I'm afraid I don't have much experience with sessions and Vanilla, or any other web apps for that matter. I won't recomend one method I do know works because it simply is not secure.

    Curl won't work because it won't give the user's browser the cookies necessary to link the session to the browser.

    Vanilla is made modular enough to be able to just pull out the built in session handling and replace it with whatever you have, like has been done with Wordpress. I did come across a joomla (or maybe it was drupal?) "bridge" that integrated sessions, and am sure there are other ways to pass the session data into Vanlla.

    This may be helpful:

    I am trying to log in members through curl. Here is my code:

    [Code]
    $ReturnUrl="";
    $RememberMeID="";
    $PostBackAction="SignIn";
    $LoginParameter="txtUsername=shopno&txtPassword=dinga&PostBackAction=$PostBackAction&ReturnUrl=$ReturnUrl&RememberMeID=$RememberMeID";
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); // make sure we get the response back
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"http://localhost/onehotnanny/forum/people.php"); //Localhost
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$LoginParameter);
    $Output=curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    echo $Output; // For Test Purpose
    [/Code]

    I am getting the login page with warning:
    Some problems were encountered
    You did not supply a valid username.
    You did not supply a valid password.

    Please help me to resolve it.
